What is a Short-Form Report?
A Short-Form Report, also known as a Child Impact Report, is a more targeted assessment than a full Family Report. It centres the child's voice, describing their experiences, relationships and needs in a clear, concise format.
These reports help parents, lawyers and decision-makers understand what matters most to a child, often earlier in a matter and with a narrower scope than a full Family Report.
